Cleaning:
During your stay, all guests are asked to keep the grounds litter free (including cigarettes butts); PLEASE use the trash bins provided for empty cans, etc... Upon departure, we ask all guests to strip bedding, start towels to wash and bag trash. Do not leave any food or bait on the porches as the critters will find it. Guest are to drop trash in our little blue garbage house just inside the Garden Lane gate as you depart. PACK TRASH TIGHTLY, NO HOLES/LEAKS. This will greatly assist our cleaning staff as we have a short window between rentals (allowing you as much time in cabins on day of check out). If an extra ordinary amount of cleaning is required, an additional $50 fee will apply. This helps us keep our cleaning fees manageable and assists us with time as we have a later than usual "check-out time" and a short window between rentals.

SOME TIPS WILL HELP TO ASSURE YOUR COMFORT AND SAFETY. THIS IS NOT A HOTEL OR GOLF RESORT. YOU ARE IN THE WOODS AND ON A NATURAL RIVER.
1. You may not see any but nature includes things like poison ivy, red ants, spiders and snakes. Trails may have animal or erosion holes. Watch your step and be a good scout.
2. The river when at normal low is delightful; however, use it at your own risk as there may be deep parts or unseen obstructions like stumps or limbs. When the river is at low levels, you'll find beautiful white beaches at the end of the hardwood bottomland trail or (cross over the arched bridge on our Cooper Rd drive) or across from the River Chalet's deck. If interested in kayaking, please be sure to notify us in advance as we have a limited number of kayaks.
3. In summer, bright interior lights may attract insects. Inside dimmers are on most switches, and you can turn on outside floodlights (switch in living room) and dim inside lights for more outdoor vision.
4. By reserving one of our cabins you are accepting responsibility for yourself and your guests if any injury or accident should take place – not caused by our own gross negligence, of course. Best of all, we just want you to take caution to avoid any mishap and have a wonderful time.
5. Guests like our quiet custom, soothing silence or soft music good for relaxing and communing. Please respect other guests spaces.
6. We hope you hear a barred owl in the woods tonight or see a red-shouldered hawk in the morning and more stars or fireflies at the pond than you have ever seen!
7. In winter, please build fire only in wood stove or barbecue grill. We ask that you not pick flowers or dig plants. Some are rare.
8. Leave no trace that you've been on trails. Please be mindful of litter.
